Yep, what we have here are reformed XEmacs users. Actually, I used Emacs for many years. Jumped to XEmacs when Emacs sunk into a funk and JWZ brought his considerable talents to bear, then jumped back when Emacs caught up and surpassed XEmacs. I don't think we're going to see a lot of reasons to use XEmacs. I suggested 2 and got my list pared down to 1. -- Dan Espen
